Ideally, you shouldn't have to trust anybody. :-) You should be able to turn on your overlay network node, it should connect to the network, and you should be able to communicate with anybody, despite somebody trying to censor you. Sadly, it seems we are not yet there. Or maybe we will never be. > First of all, they use recursive routing instead of iterative lookups > (that's important to deal with the attacker on the IP level).

It seems CJDNS is using the recursive routing approach? But isn't so that it is enough that in the whole routing path you get only one adversary node and this node can black hole your packets?
